Another recruiting MISS

[Wesley]

Greg McDermott not winning games is hurting our recruiting. Don't blame it on message board posters.

It is about winning four a year in conference and unable to play in a tournament, any tournament. It is about losing so many kids after two years in the door. It is about four years of same results. It is about the expected upgrade to Wayneball. It is what is expected in future years of Gregball. It is just about Greg not proving himself in the Big 12. He has been given a full chance.

Not that I'll add much to this...but...the idea that this message board is hurting our recruiting chances is moronic.

The idea that recruits somehow overlook the 4 year history of suck we've put on the court. Then overlook all the transfers. Then after that they overlook our record in and out of the Big 12. Then, just as they are ready to commit they google Cyclone Athletics and stumble upon CF and read a few posts...then say..."holy crap that was close! I almost committed to ISU and their program is a mess! Thankfully I found out the truth on CF before I signed the LOI!"

Our recruiting problems are EXACTLY why programs fire coaches in this situation. Right or wrong the reality is that you have a limited amount of time in ANY JOB to prove you can perform. There are no sales reps out there with 12 years at a company when they've never met a quota.

Precisely!
